Lionel Messi is back, and that is the great hope of Inter Miami to get back to winning ways, but Sporting KC, with their fans on their side, will try to avoid it.
The Kansas team is coming from a 3-3 draw with Portland Timbers, a match in which they were 3-0 up but where they dropped points.
Inter Miami were held at home by Colorado Rapids, drawing 2-2 thanks to a goal by Argentine Lionel Messi in his return.

Why bet on Sporting KC?
Sporting Kansas City is having a good season despite having only ten points in seven games. So far, this team has only lost once, having two wins and four draws, while the sole loss came at home against LA Galaxy.
In their last match, they drew 3-3 with Portland Timbers. Kansas City took the lead in the first half with goals from William Agada (twice) and Dany Rosero. However, in the second half, the team allowed three goals, which left them with only one point.
The home record of this team is not so good, as they have only won once in four opportunities. The big problem is that they concede a lot since its defense is not a guarantee, confirmed by its ten goals against.
The Nigerian Agada has been their best scorer with three and providing an assist. He is followed by defender Rosero with two goals.
Injured for this team are Logan Ndenbe and Johnny Russell, while Khiry Shelton is likely to return from an ankle problem.
Why Bet on Inter Miami?
Inter Miami started well, but when Lionel Messi’s injury was confirmed, the team began to drop points. Adding up all the tournaments, the Miami team has four matches without a win, which has had repercussions in the MLS. They are currently third in the East with 12 points, two behind leaders New York Red Bulls.
In their last outing, the Florida team started losing, but with goals from Messi and Leonardo Afonso, they turned it around. But in 88′ the defense could not prevent Cole Bassett from scoring the equalizer.
The good thing is that now Messi will be able to start, and his presence alone intimidates the rival defense. In addition, his numbers are good, with four goals and one assist. The Argentine adds to what Uruguayan Luis Suárez is doing, who has five goals and three assists.
It’s notable that, away from home, Inter’s performance is much worse, allowing six goals and scoring only four.
Yannick Bright, Facundo Farias, Ian Fray, Sergii Kryvtsov, Federico Redondo, and Robbie Robinson are injured.
Final Betting Analysis: Sporting KC vs. Inter Miami
Only once have these two teams played, and the victory was for Inter by 3-2, with Leonardo Campana scoring twice and Facundo Farias scoring another goal.
Inter Miami’s great hope is back: Lionel Messi. The Argentine has already been able to perform with the Florida club, but even with him on the pitch, the team is not carburating again yet. We must add that they have a great challenge at the BBVA stadium today, so we’ll go for another draw, this time by 2-2.
Go for a draw. If you bet $100 at 3.68, you will gain $268 for a total payout of $368.
